You might have some luck with Suse, their Yast configuration is very easy and was stable for years for me. Now I’m running on an M1 Mac mini which was more of a pain than a regular setup for sure. Unfortunately the Linux support just isn’t there yet.

So does Musi on iOS

I believe the CEOs son has some special needs and he’s been big on pushing them to develop inputs methods that are accessible. It’s definitely getting better! As a gamer who’s been playing since they were a kid and now in my 30’s I’m starting to get RSI like issues and definitely appreciate some of these accessibility movements because they allow me to change up my input more often.

Ours switched to attesting in the hr system. You don’t do your 3 days? That’s a paddlin’

Isn’t arc a chromium fork thus subject to Google’s shenanigans?

All the most recent OLEDs are smart TVs, the only thing I could think of that isn’t are basically things classified as digital signage but these panels aren’t really tuned for watching at home.

But your best bet is to use the TV as a display for whatever you have and switching inputs old school style. Connect it once to do software updates. Unplug from wall and don’t give it your wifi password or vlan it off the internet. Otherwise they’re all sending data back about you, and your consumption habits.

You can also self host your own sync server (even works on iOS)

Some podcasts have chapters, chapter art, show notes, etc. “Accidental Tech Podcast” is a good example. Spotify sucks for podcasts and they’re trying to kill podcasting so they can take it over.

Same reason I’m on Suse now as well. I got tired of tinkering all the time.

I’d throw an option out for Suse but if you really want as little OS as possible Arch Linux.

I had no idea but it looks like I’m going to have to reconfigure my stack again 😒

Me too! Actual servers are docker-compose which is on git but the data…yeah that’s on hope hahaha

I didn’t hear that, but I’m not surprised it’s also about control. When you offer a paid API you’re capping potential revenues for those users at essentially a flat rate.

I suspect that their revenue generation plans likely would see more than 10M/yr return so they threw out some big number to kill everything, force a portion of those users to their own services where they’re planning on ramping up monetization

Pm’d

I’d like to think most of the app users are power users who actually drive a lot of value and forcing them to leave will tank your business, but who knows, time will tell.

Exactly. Even a server to just go down one day. Theoretically it has a snapshot in time

I feel like we’re seeing a lot of money leave tech. These companies are no longer getting cash injections and running into the red. The number one game for them now is revenue generation and that is through user fees and advertising. That’s why we’re seeing this shit now.

A lot of these platforms (Twitter/Reddit) started off simple and never took into account advertising. That means third party apps never got the ad feed in the general timeline.

Seeing their infinite funds dry up, these companies are now looking for where they can generate extra revenue, or where they are not generating revenue and making cuts.

These APIs cost them money. So now they’re making the gamble. Will their users tolerate losing their favourite apps to a privacy invading and ad serving machine just to access their feeds?

Never heard of arkenfox? Is it just a privacy tuned Firefox install?

I just hope they made a lot of engine changes to because it chugs in late game

Oh interesting! I might take a look at btrbk
